Racy Racer

One of the most Insta-famous cyclists in the world, 22-year-old Dutch professional Puck Moonen currently rides for Lotto–Soudal Ladies. Unfortunately, she’s more well known for her looks than her major results so far. She even featured in a recent UK newspaper article which proclaimed that this ‘gorgeous cyclist sends temperatures soaring with racy Instagram snaps’. Hopefully she will rack up the results as well as the taps and clicks in the 2019 racing season. Here she is enjoying a winter training session in Mallorca, Spain, on the famous Sa Calobra climb.
